Construction of 284 MW Azure Sky solar and storage project started in Haskell County
Enel, through its US renewable subsidiary Enel Green Power North America, has started construction of the 284 MW Azure Sky solar and storage project. The Home Depot will procure the electricity generated from a 75 MW portion of the Azure Sky solar project through a power purchase agreement (PPA).
Located west of the Dallas-Fort Worth area in Haskell County, Texas, USA, Azure Sky comprises a 284 MW photovoltaic (PV) facility paired with an 81 MW battery and is expected to be operational by summer 2021.
The project's nearly 700,000 PV bifacial panels are expected to generate over 586 GWh each year, which will be delivered to the grid and will charge the battery located in the same facility, which is equivalent to avoiding the annual emission of over 386,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. The battery storage system will be capable of storing the power generated by the photovoltaic panels, while also providing services to enhance grid flexibility.
